Being Thankful!

Psalms 63:1-6
1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.​ 2 O YAHWEH, YOU are my YAHWEH,​ earnestly I seek YOU. My soul thirsts for YOU.​ My flesh longs for YOU in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. 3 So, I looked for YOU in the Sanctuary,​ to see YOUR power and YOUR glory.​ 4 Since YOUR lovingkindness is better than life,​ my lips will praise YOU. 5 So I will bless YOU as long as I live.​ In YOUR name I lift up my hands.6 My soul is satisfied as with fat and oil, so my mouth praises YOU with joyful lips.​

Luke 19:1-10
Now Yeshua entered Jericho and was passing through. And here was a man by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. Zacchaeus was trying to see who Yeshua was, but he couldn’t because of the crowd, for he was short in height. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Yeshua, for He was about to pass through that way.

When Yeshua came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.”

Zacchaeus hurried and came down and welcomed Him joyfully.

But when everyone saw it, they began to grumble, saying, “Yeshua has gone to be the guest of a sinner!”

But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord. “Look, Master, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have somehow cheated anyone, I repay four times as much!”

Then Yeshua said to him, “Today salvation has come to this home, because he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Psalms 23:5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows.

John 14:15-31
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper so He may be with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him. You know Him, because He abides with you and will be in you. I will not abandon you as orphans; I will come to you. In a little while, the world will no longer behold Me, but you will behold Me. Because I live, you also will live!

“In that day, you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me, and I am in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

Judah (not the one from Kriot) said to Him, “Master, what has happened, that You are about to reveal Yourself to us and not the world?”

Yeshua answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words. And the word you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. These things I have spoken to you while dwelling with you. But the Helper, the Ruach ha-Kodesh whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of everything that I said to you.

“Shalom I leave you, My shalom I give to you; but not as the world gives! Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid. You’ve heard Me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe!

“I will not talk with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has nothing on Me. But in order that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me.

“Get up, let’s go from here!”

Revelations 22:1-2
Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life—bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the city’s street. On either side of the river was a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
